The technology that we are using is old. That’s what is causing the outages and delays we are seeing at Newark. If we don’t act, we will start to see these issues across the national airspace. That’s why I’m announcing a plan next week to build an all-new air... show more

The FAA’s reliance on 50-year-old radar systems and copper wiring isn’t just outdated—it’s a national security liability. Newark’s outages and the 2023 NOTAM collapse prove D.C.’s failure to modernize despite burning $14B on the broken NextGen program. The Biden administration left these systems rotting, prioritizing foreign aid over critical infrastructure. Now, controllers juggle Band-Aid fixes like remote feeds that crash under peak demand while United cancels flights. A new system is non-negotiable, but it must avoid past bloat. Every dollar should go to engineers, not consultants. Fix the tech, axe the waste, and hold the bureaucrats who let this decay accountable. No more excuses—America’s skies can’t run on 1970s tech.

🇺🇸 New Leadership, New Priorities! The old ways are gone. This administration must step up where others failed. 🦅 🛡️A stronger nation starts with informed citizens. Start your own cyber awareness journey with the CYBERSECURITY DICTIONARY for Everyone:

When you start letting the contracts, sign me up. I tried to replace the NOTAMS 25 years ago and was stopped because it was a cash cow for other projects. The best part is with the technology today it will be simple. The ATC procedures are very mature and easy to understand.

Awesome

Did all the controllers tell you they liked their hours and schedules? Or that they were being paid enough?

Great move, @SecDuffy! 👏 A new air traffic control system is exactly what we need to keep our skies safe and efficient. Can’t wait to see this plan in action! ✈️🇺🇸 #MAGA

You sure it’s technology?

Don’t forget the pay scale is antiquated too, staffing is a huge part of this problem, YOUNG controllers continue to leave the profession for higher paying jobs

Suggestions from a retired software engineer: 1. Start with specifying the minimum effective system. Don’t over complicate it, and guard against requirements creep. 2. Ensure the error-handling/user message system is specified, and is part of the core system. 3. Get Air Traffic Controllers to dry-run the system as early as possible to ensure all critical functions are present. Guard against requirements creep here.

So glad I just retired. He and his staff are clueless.

I mean-it’s 2025. Why isn’t air traffic control using holographic images of the airspace instead of 1960 blips on a screen?

I fly all the time. The system is safe. But we must build an all new air traffic control system to make sure the system stays safe and prevent outages like Newark.

We should not be relying on air traffic control technology that came out during the glory days of Elvis & Duran Duran. That’s why we’ve unveiled a plan to build a brand new system and train the best and brightest air traffic controllers. Under President Donald J. Trump, we will deliver!

There are too many cancellations and delays in our airspace. Americans are FED UP! These challenges will only get harder as we see more aircraft in the sky. We will make flying SAFER and EASIER with a BRAND NEW AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL ✈️🚀

JD Vance on the Strait of Hormuz: We’ve already seen an increase in traffic today; hopefully, we’ll see an increase in traffic tomorrow. We actually think that we are seeing signs that the straits are starting to reopen. I think you guys have probably seen oil prices have come down. So, I think the oil markets, the gas markets, are seeing the same thing. But the president’s been very clear: the deal is a ceasefire, a negotiation. That’s what we give, and what they give is that the straits are going to be reopened. If we don’t see that happening, the president is not going to abide by our terms if the Iranians are not abiding by their terms.

We are not fixing air traffic control- we are building an ENTIRE BRAND NEW system. Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg wasted $80 BILLION on DEI programs instead of listening to MULTIPLE government watchdog reports that warned about the issues facing air traffic control. This is UNACCEPTABLE. President Trump and I are laser focused on making our skies safer than ever. 🛫

Yann LeCun (Yann LeCun) just revealed why he left Meta, Why are LLMs an extremely narrow field, and how "World model" is the way to build really meaningful agentic future. 🎯 Beautiful and simple in 1.5 mints. "I can’t imagine we can build agentic systems without those systems having the ability to predict, in advance, what the consequences of their actions are going to be. The way we act in the world is that we can predict the consequences of our actions, and that’s what allows us to plan. So what is a world model? Given the state of an environment, a system you want to control at time t, and given an action or intervention you imagine taking, can you predict the state of the world (or the system) at time t + 1? If you can, that’s a world model. You don’t do this at a pixel level, if it’s video. You do this in an abstract representation space, and that’s a crucial key insight." --- From 'AI House Davos" YT channel (full link in comment)

Europe is not just about geography, it's also about the values and principles we share. That’s why we are glad to welcome Canada at the European Political Community meeting today to discuss common issues. We will be talking about connectivity, but also resilience to the threats we are all facing. My doorstep ↓

A lot of breaking news over the past few days, but we can’t forget about the Big Beautiful Bill and FUNDING AMERICA’S new air traffic control system! I was proud to represent America at the Paris Air Show, the largest aviation event in the world. I met with dozens of companies that are bringing the latest innovations to air travel—perfect timing as we prepare to embark on the most consequential and popular infrastructure project in America: a brand-new air traffic control system! If Congress keeps its promise to fund this project, we will have a cutting-edge system up and running before the end of Donald Trump’s term. A new ATC system will keep us safe, reduce flight delays, and ensure our airspace is ready for exciting new technologies—drones, eVTOLs, and more. Let’s make travel in America great again!

"There's a burning frustration" among air traffic controllers working without pay, says Secretary Sean Duffy on the Democrat shutdown. "Safety is my top priority... we will delay, we will cancel any kind of flight across the national airspace to make sure people are safe."

THIS IS CRAAAAAZY!! I’m telling y’all now if we the people don’t get control of this mess it will explode in front of us. It’s only one party that’s completely jump off the rails. And I’m afraid that it will get to a place where we can’t fix it. And we can we are just to scare to be uncomfortable. We are complacent and hopeless cause we feel like there is nothing we can do. There is. We just have to be brave enough to do it!! #itsalreadyreallybad
